Schedule-s-To) Be Trimmed By 30 Per Cent

DENVER. May 4-(AP)-Effects of ii country-wide strike of oil workers mounted steadily tonight although a motorized nation was far from stopped.

The aviation industry was the hardest hit sa the strike of some 90,000 oil workers went into its sixth day. Important refineries. including that of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana at Whiting. ind.. the world's largest. were shut down.

At Washington, D. C., Interior Secretary Oscar Chapman signed an order limiting the use of gaso- line by airlines and private fliers, cffcciive Tuesday. .

The air force already had cur- tailed training flights to conserve gasoline supplies.

The strike has cut output of aviation gasoline by an estimated 35 per cent. resulting in the gov- ernment order.

Fuel for both domestic and for- elgn airlines flying from the Un- lied States will be cut 30 per cent Private filers may not use gaso- line for pleasure or sports flights.

The strike was called by 22 A. F. l..., C.T.O. and independent un- ions to back wage demands. Cai- ifornia refineries, which supply much of the fuel for Korean use. were excepted.

Little Effect Here

TORONTO. May 4 - (CP) - Georgc L. Stewart, president of Imperial Oil Limited. said Satur- day that the strike of all work- era in the United States will have little or no effect on the avail- ability of automobile gasoline in Canada.

However the aviation gasoline situation in Canada could become acute.

"There is not enough aviation fuel on-' hs.nd'”fori Canadian re- uuiremelita should the strike con- tinue for any length of'tlmc," said Mr. Stewart.

lie praised the "wise and skillful conduct" of foreign affairs by An- thony Eden.

But the major portion of his speech was devoted to domestic af- fairs. Churchill remarked that the parties seemed to be getting even more bitterly divided. but his gov- crnmcnt had the will-and he be- lieved the power-to continue for another three or four years.

600 Priidners Rule Bordeaux Jail Five Hours

By George Kitchen MON'l'.R.EAL. May 4 -(C'P)- Three new fires broke out late to- night in Montreal's riot-racked Bordeaux Jail, two hours after the mob of nearly 600 prisoners had re- tuned from a wild demonstration in the jail yard.

The fires were quickly put out and the rioting appeared ended but a tense air remained about the prison on the northeastern fringe of the city.

Damage by the rioters was esti- mated unofficially as high as 5100.- 000. At least three persons-two prisoners and a guard-were in- jut-ed, none seriously.

Pro test Food

The riot exploded in the prison dining room late in the day in a mass demonstration against the quality of the food.

For five hours the mob ruled the jail and the courtyard. The pranc- ing prlsoners shrieked their protest over the food, howled for a change in the governorship of the Jail and taunted more than 100 policemen who stood outside the grilled gate of the Jail yard.

Acting on orders, police stood by until the frenzy of the rioters died down. Then. displaying trunch- eons. they moved into the yard.

There was no effort to drive the prisoners-practically the whole jail population-forcibly back into the building.

Inspector Norbert Labbe of the Provincial Police called out to the prisoners that good food. including fruit. was being brought to the prison. The mob began returning to the main building.

Small Fires Set

Al. the outset of the riot about a dozen small fires were set. Mat- ' ircsses were lighted in cells and furniiure- srnasheri. The rioters broke into one section of adminis- tration offices and wrecked it.

Fires were set. in the machine shop, canteen, mess hall. kitchen and storeroom. one burned by the prison chapel. near the dome over the centre of the main five-story building. '

It took 200 firemen, with 36 pieces of equipment, two hours to put out the widely-separated fires.

The late outbreaks. high in the building. were doused in a. few

Two young children were injur- ed, one seriously, in two accidents yesterday involving automobiles. in the first accident on the Malpcque Road, near St. Dunstan's Univer- sity, little six-year-old Susanne Johnston, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Johnston, suffered a broken leg and a fractured collarbone when struck by is car near her home.

The car was driven by Mr. Anson MacLaughlin. Wlnsioe. who appar- ently did everything possible to avoid hitting the little girl who was reported to have run in front Oil the car. Mr. Machaiighliii drovel

the car into an embankment and it is reported completely wrecked. The girl is being treated at the Prince Edward Island Hospital.

Also a patient in the same hos- pital is Master Maurice Mccabe. 10. son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Mc- Cabe. Alexandra. While driving hLs bicycle almost directly opposite his own driveway, he was struck by a. car driven by a Mr. Vickerson, Charlottetown, and thrown to the pavement. At first thought to be suffering from a fractured skull, it was beiicvcd late last night that his head injuries are only minor oncs.

TORONTO. May 4 - (CP) - Murray Mitchell, a 40-year-old un- employed father of five children, killed himself with a shotgun late Saturday after chasing and wound- ing his wife near their east-end Toronto home.

His 36-year-old wife is in hosp- ital where doctors list her condition as critical. She suffered chest and arm wounds and had two fmgures shot off.

Police said Mitchell and his fam- ily came to Toronto from Halifax a year ago. He found it hard to ob- tain work and has been unemploy- cd for five months.

Tne family. with the exception of Gordon. 20, and Cyril, 19, the two oldest, was scheduletl to return to Halifax by car Saturday night. The shooting took place shortly before they were to leave.

Fireman Walter Darnborough. on duty at a. nearby fire hall. risked his life when he ran to the wound- ed woman and carried her into the fire station while Mitchell was etlil shooting. He is one of the few sur- vivors of the Jervis Bay - the armed merchant ship sunk while defending o convoy from the Ger- man pocket battleship Clraf Spec during the Second World War.

The shooting apparently took place after Mitchell and his wife began arguing while standing be- side the car, already loaded for the trip. Mitchell is a native of Oyster Pond. near Jeddore, N. 5.. it was learned at Halifax. He had. been
